Meh. I'm not sure how much stock I put into that. Although, Crane doesn't do a lot of interviews or speak about team moves. You don't see a whole lot of him and he publicly just let's Luhnow do his job.
Regardless, it wouldn't seem the financials make us a favorite.

He is already missing out on millions of dollars by coming this year. It is clear he wants to win while he's young. So the difference between what the Astros can offer versus a team like Seattle or the Yankees is only $1.7 million (I think).
But what the Astros lack in money, they make up for because they can offer a 19 yr old stud a future HOF mentors in Justin Verlander and a reigning MVP and batting title champ in Jose Altuve. That is way more than almost all other teams can offer.
He will make his Gazillions of yen through endorsements in Japan.
I think the Astros have just as good of a chance as any team not named the Yankees.
Asia Pacific countries love them some NYY.
